Description:
Rogers describes these dances as 'acts of fancy.' The dances include: 'Dance with Pennons,' 'Mourning Dance' (for off-stage soprano solo), and 'Dance with Swords'. They are dazzling in color yet rich, sonorous, and naive. Rogers' 1956 re-scoring of the dances for winds added a singularly unique composition to the repertoire. This edition represents the first full score available for winds. Three Japanese Dances is a composition of great clarity and detail.
